Demetri Tsilmigras Wins Praise from Mothers Against Drunk Driving — 9 Comments

  1. Ask any attorney that practices in the McHenry County Court House, this is a joke.

    He has NEVER tried a case in McHenry County, walks around the courthouse as a high paid administrator for Bianchi.

    Bianchi wants to control government in McHenry County, he IS State’s Attorney, now has Prim in the Sheriff’s office and wants his guys on the bench.

    The praise should go to the assistant state’s attorneys that do the trial and courtroom work.

  2. No sir, just ask any lawyer that practices up there.

    How can he be a Judge if he has never been in the courtroom?

    Never had a trial?

    Just more of the same old good boy politics.

  3. Fred is right on and 100% correct.

    Demetri would wet him self if he had to go to trial in a courtroom.

  4. Fred:

    I’ve asked several attorneys like you suggested and you are apparently mistaken.

    Demetri is well liked by the lawyers I asked.

    In fact all of them gave him high marks.

    All of the ones I asked have said that they will completely back Demetri.

    This award was not given to him by Bianchi, but it was given to him by MADD.

    I also don’t think you give credit to the People of McHenry County that will vote on the upcoming race for Judge.

    They can and will use their own minds in seeing that Demetri is his own person that can and will operate independent of the State’s Attorney’s Office.

    Importantly, your comments suggest that the members of MADD can’t think for themselves, well they do and have made an award to Demetri.

    He’s a good man and has good character. Thank you MADD.
